The jury took less than three hours to reach the decision after a six-week trial that has received a lot of attention both in the US and internationally. Murdaugh’s 52-year-old wife Maggie and the couple’s 22-year-old son Paul were found shot dead at the family’s cabin in June 2021. A few months later, Alex Murdaugh was arrested for attempting to stage a murder of himself. He is said to have paid an assassin to kill him, so that his second son could collect the life insurance of around NOK 100 million. The alleged plan was unsuccessful, and Murdaugh was arrested, and subsequently he was also indicted for the murders of his wife and son. The Murdaugh family have been high-ranking lawyers in the state of South Carolina for several generations, and the case has made big headlines in the United States. Murdaugh faces at least 30 years in prison.
